Legal Controversy Erupts as Solicitor Rebecca Hume Faces Criminal Referral Tied to High Court Case
Allegations against UK solicitor Rebecca Hume spark international attention amid a multi-jurisdictional criminal referral linking the UK and Antigua & Barbuda.
London, UK / St. John’s, Antigua & Barbuda — Rebecca Hume, a solicitor at Howard Kennedy LLP in the United Kingdom, has found herself at the center of a criminal referral with numerous serious allegations. The referral, issued by Alkiviades David, involved in the case of Mahim Khan v. Alkiviades David (KB-2025-001991), points to claims of assault, conspiracy, and wrongful arrest.
The referral has been submitted to key authorities including the Metropolitan Police Service, the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA), and the Attorney General of Antigua & Barbuda. The allegations state that Hume was involved in a physical assault at the Royal Courts of Justice on July 25, 2025, during an attempt to serve a Contempt Application. Additional accusations include deliberate hindrance of evidence submission in court, economic coercion through freezing David's funds, and interference with public access to court documents.
Further claims assert wrongful arrest of David at Hammersmith Police Station earlier in August 2025 as a retaliatory measure. David asserts that the behaviors exhibited are not isolated incidents but form a comprehensive pattern that threatens the integrity of the legal systems in both the UK and Antigua & Barbuda. “This demands urgent investigation and accountability,” he highlighted.
The intertwined nature of both legal cases—those in the UK High Court and the Supreme Court of Antigua & Barbuda—could escalate scrutiny, ultimately leading to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. David has called for immediate investigations, including securing relevant CCTV footage, conducting witness interviews, and regulatory actions against Hume and her firm.
The referral contains a comprehensive timeline of the alleged misconduct, alongside evidential materials related to court proceedings from both jurisdictions. As international legal experts and observers await further developments, the case underlines the vital importance of accountability within the legal field.
